Do the Pats carry 3 QB's this year or does BB try to showcase Mallett in preseason and try to get a player or draft pick? NFLN was talking about Mallett going to Houston during the draft as if it was just a matter of when a deal would get done.

No shock here. Even the dope OB realizes Mallet has done absolutely nothing in the NFL to deserve anybody giving anything of significant value up for him. But of course the few, the proud, the homers, still think he has value.

Just wait until a team with a QB injury off QB concerns needs a young QB. Mallett wasn't drafted to never get a chance to compete for a spot.

He'll be dealt at some point.

Pat's Fan lost in Jet Land

don't u think it depends a lot on JG.?

i was glad to hear that JG in the last half of his season threw for66%

it will be fun to watch

Nope. Contract up. His career was not intended to be some career long backup. It's preposterous to think that with so many teams in need of a QB or QB competition all over the league, a BB/Brady trained QB like Cassel or Hoyer, isn't worth a flier.

Question: How can you tell when Rusty's lying?

Answer: He typed something.

Babe, I disagree. The issue is not Malletts talent or potential upside. It is his contract. If this was May of year 2 of Malletts 4 year contract, or even year 3, Mallett returns a 2nd thru 4th IMO. Mallett when drafted was a first round talent, that still is. He fell to the 3rd due to off field issues, not talent. Much more talented and ready for the NFL when drafted than Jimmy G is this year.

Simply put, no one wants to give anything of value for 1 year of Mallett. It's the contract, not the player.

This. Why spend a good pick on Mallett when you can get 4 years of a cost-controlled rookie? We'll probably get a comp pick when he leaves plus having a backup that is familiar with the system is good insurance. The Patriots would be crazy to give up Mallett for a low round pick and a team would be crazy to give us a mid to high round pick for Mallett. That is why some of us have said from the beginning that Mallett will be not be traded.

Yes. Fitz holds the ball too long and takes too many hits. Cant play the season out. Hoyer knows OB's system, his terminology. He can hit the ground running. With that defense getting healthy, and Foster getting healthy, I really think Hoyer fits for now...

At this point, I don't see Mallet being traded for a pick, not by lack of trying by the organization. How long he remains with the team is going to be dependent on how well the KID grasps the offence, if he picks it up quickly then Mallet will be a last minute cut at end of preseason, if the KID is slow he will be kept, I'm guessing the PATS will showcase mallet in the first 2 preseason games even if the KID, picks things up quickly, hoping on the outside chance that they can get a 5th or 6th round pick, before they cut Mallet loose.

similar to Mallett, JG will sit the entire year behind Mallett, same as Mallett did behind Hoyer

JG will not play a single snap the entire year

depending on what Mallett signs for next year and how many FA's the Pats sign/lose, Mallet could warrant a comp pick in the 3rd to 4th round range. Why trade him for a 5th or 6th now and leave the team with out a back up QB?

Good post. The Comp pick part of the equation is what a lot of people are missing. Mallet has no trade value and the notion that NE may still be able to deal him is getting pretty silly.
